@Good Customer Service - funders want to get the deal done before someone else does. I have had many deals stolen because the rep lied to the merchant for their own benefit (I know...shocker). Doesn't have to be through the same funding company either. Let's face it, there is a lot of competition out there.

@John Tucker - Closing the merchant is getting everything needed to satisfy the agreement, it's pretty straightforward. If closing every deal was as simple as you just described we would all be rich - good merchants aren't always easy to sell but desperate merchants are. Even if you are straight up with them, that does not guarantee a closing.
